The fine folks over at Pen Chalet gave me the opportunity to try the new Monteverde Poquito fountain pen (Retail price $30; from Pen Chalet, $27). Its a classic looking, teeny tiny pocket pen for sure. This is the first Monteverde pen I’ve tried so I was quite excited for the chance to take my first…

Review: Rhodia No. 18 Uni-Blank Pad
I’ve finally been wooed into trying the Rhodia pads for pen and ink reviews. I chose the Rhodia Pad No. 18 ($14.50) with the black cover. The large size (8.25″ x 11.75″) gives me plenty of real estate. The pages tear from the top with a smooth microperf and the cover folds neatly out of…
